Among the hurricanes of crisis facing the citizens of Louisiana this is a Headline story from Bossier City, an adjoining settlement across the river from Shreveport Louisiana. It is the home of Barksdale Air Force Base. As many ‘red’ states in the south, we Democrats are pushed aside by the preponderance of bible belt fundies who are entranced with right wing media’s made up crisis conspiracies. Of course single issue candidates have several issues to focus on but they choose the worst of the worst to zero in on. Here in this ‘story’ the ability to ignore the horror of mass shootings, daily gun homicides and uncontrolled access to all kinds of guns including wmds, shows how the actual addressing of issues can be ignored. Most of these celebrants don’t care or clue about the real focus of the 2nd because they have been spoon fed the rightwing mantra that ‘Gunz are godz giftz so git away from my gunz’, No matter that over 40000 deaths were attributed to gun violence in 2021! The article follows.

***Bossier City, LA_ Several state representatives attended an event celebrating second amendment rights in Bossier City Saturday. State Representatives Raymond Crews, Dodie Horton, and Alan Seabaugh served as guest speakers.

The turnout for the Second Amendment Celebration was so great organizers plan to make it an annual event. Saturday's event was sponsored by Law Shield.***

Multiple people were shot Thursday in Smithsburg, Maryland, a town near Camp David, the presidential retreat.

The shooter was no longer a threat, the sheriff of Washington County said in a statement.

The attack took place at about 2:30 p.m. and was initially considered an active shooter situation. NBC Washington reports the incident happened at a manufacturing facility.

This is short but there will be more details as investigation proceeds.

GRIFTERS WILL GRIFT AND GRAB that what is meant for the needy!

In the short time I have tonight I probably won’t do justice to this horrible bunch of a$$holes who now may be facing the music for their egregious grift.

A group of ‘rich’ turds needing more so here they concoct a plan to get even richer. When a low income Southern state has families with kids and adults below poverty and food shortages, a program was developed to help those folks out.

Can you say “Demon possessed” fucks that got their dirty fingers in those funds to the tune of $77 million! If justice is done — some of them should be in one of those shitty southern jails!

It is a sad read when the already affluent can’t stop themselves from shitting on the poor of their community and enriching themselves!

It seems evident that these gun toting idiots are finally going to effectively make sane gun owners give up their rights to own our guns. These deranged individuals, carrying their deadly weapons, without a care that they are endangering all of us who have never fired a shot in anger, to finally face the ominous anger of our citizens against all guns.

Is a horror story in Florida where this drug induced (according to him) rampage in a house full of innocents. The lead up to this tragedy was a call by a person that there was a strange vehicle in the street near where the incident later developed. Law enforcement did not find a suspect at that time but became aware that gunfire was taking place at that locale. Upon arrival they encountered and active shooting scenario and the results ended with a suspect in full body armor ready for a gun battle with police. The results of this tragedy are 4 innocent people losing their lives. The suspect was arrested and is still alive.

The investigation continues.

Read them and Weep

I couldn’t finish the list at first read because of the mist in my eyes. I will not ever forgive the a$$holes who are so full of hate and pig urine that will do something like this. It isn’t religion or vengeance! IMHO it is an evil power struggle to see who can be the most filthy and evil and desperate to be the main cult in the Middle East.

One of the bright turds in the republicant parti just vowed this. “GOP Rep. Jim Banks(R IL): We Republicans Have A ‘Duty’ To Punish Members Investigating Jan. 6 Riot”!

www.huffpost.com/…

His broad erroneous assumption that their winning back the majority in 2022 will unleash hell fire and damnation on the (two) republicans and others that are helping uncover the attempt to overthrow our election, destroy our republic, raid our seat of government, aid and abet the interference of the certification of counted electoral votes and threaten to kill elected officials of our government!

In his spew on the tc faux show, he was let to go unchecked for veracity and honesty. Not unusual for tc on faux. But the committee, investigating what happened on Jan. 6, including Trump’s role in instigating the attack of his supporters on the Capitol has these traitors foaming at the mouth. Seven Democrats and two Republicans serve on the panel and as the old saying goes, “The wheels of justice may be slow but grind exceedingly fine”

” “ “On July 27, the select committee heard brutal, emotional testimony from four officers who fought to protect the Capitol on Jan. 6. They talked about being taunted with racist slurs and detailed the physical and psychological injuries they suffered.

Banks’ response? He baselessly claimed that Pelosi wrote their testimony.

“Everything that you saw today was carefully scripted by Speaker Pelosi and her staff,” he told Fox News in July. “Even the statements that these police officers read, you could tell at times they didn’t write the statements, they were merely reading them as they stumbled over some of the words that they weren’t familiar with as they were reading.” “ “

This ‘puke’ should be tarred and feathered for aiding and abetting the insurrection then making threats to those who are trying to hold those responsible to be exposed, charged, tried and convicted!

A ‘real patriot’ huh.

I'm not good at this.

This is a ‘Hind Sight’ wtf moment. The NYT posted this item 8/20 and its should tell how Huge Pharma will bow to money over the health of out nation and even the world. I haven’t seen this on our site so forgive me if it is old news.

“”” For weeks in June and July, workers at a Maine factory making one of America’s most popular rapid tests for Covid-19 were given a task that shocked them: take apart millions of the products they had worked so hard to create and stuff them into garbage bags.

Soon afterward, Andy Wilkinson, a site manager for Abbott Laboratories, the manufacturer, stood before rows of employees to announce layoffs. The company canceled contracts with suppliers and shuttered the only other plant making the test, in Illinois, dismissing a work force of 2,000. “The numbers are going down,” he told the workers of the demand for testing, saying it wasn’t their fault. — - — (The bottom line) “”” “This is all about money.”

Now with the COVID Delta Variant explosion they find themselves behind the 8 ball!

“”” Demand for the 15-minute antigen test, BinaxNOW, is soaring again as people return to schools and offices. Yet Abbott has reportedly told thousands of newly interested companies that it cannot equip their testing programs in the near future. Abbott is scrambling to hire back hundreds of workers.”””

I wonder if the employees who may feel ‘jilted’ hurry back?

Can we say Karma? I hadn’t seen this on KOS but it brings joy to my beaten down feelings of the total lack of justice handed to this creep when the orange pile of shit pardoned him of all his convictions. He won’t bet pardoned by our real president if convicted of these current charges.

Attribute: www.nbcnews.com/...

A lawsuit, filed in federal court in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, says Roger and Nida Stone underpaid their income taxes by $1,590,361 from 2007 to 2011. It further says Stone, 68, did not pay his full tax bill in 2018, coming up $407,036 short. The couple, the suit alleges, used a commercial entity to "shield their personal income from enforced collection and fund a lavish lifestyle despite owing nearly $2 million in unpaid taxes, interest and penalties.

The couple has deposited more than $1 million in accounts belonging to a commercial entity, Drake Ventures, instead of personal accounts, thereby frustrating collection efforts, the government said in the filing.

From those accounts, the pair covered a down payment on a Fort Lauderdale condominium, paid for personal expenses and covered some of their tax liabilities, the lawsuit alleges, calling the entity an "alter ego" of the Stones.

Additionally, the filing wants to thwart the Stones' transfer of their $525,000 Florida condominium to an entity known as the Bertran Family Revocable Trust, which the government says is controlled by Nydia Stone and has as beneficiaries their children.

A tax lien was being sought against the property, it said. The suit also seeks a judgment for $1,590,361.89.

The government also said the Stones at one point entered into an agreement to cover taxes owed through monthly installments of nearly $20,000, but stopped paying. Additionally, the filing alleges that in 2018, Stone filed his federal income tax return as "a married individual filing separately from his spouse" and owes an additional $407,036.84 for that year alone.

Stone was on his way to federal prison in July 2020 when then-president Trump commuted his sentence. Stone was sentenced earlier that year to serve 40 months in prison for lying to Congress about his efforts to connect with WikiLeaks in hopes of digging up dirt on Trump's 2016 rival, Hillary Clinton. The lead prosecutor in the case said Stone had lied because the "truth looked bad for Donald Trump." Stone was convicted of all seven counts against him.

It was after his indictment in 2019 that Stone and his wife created the Bertran fund and purchased the condo, the federal filing said.

"The Stones intended to defraud the United States by maintaining their assets in Drake Ventures’ accounts, which they completely controlled, and using these assets to purchase the Stone Residence in the name of the Bertran Trust," it alleged.

"The Stones were in substantial debt to the United States at the time of the transfer, rendering them insolvent at the time of the transfer and unable to pay their debt to the United States," the filing said.

Trump pardoned Stone in December along with a number of other close allies.

The low brow, anti maskers collected over 26000 signatures (less than 1%of total voters in the state) from their under educated swampers to join in a recall of our Democratic Governor Jon Bel Edwards. The “Freedumb” movement went round the state to canvass these bozos, the same ones who traipse around all the big box stores sans masks and forego social distancing, ginned up a major complaint against the COVID19 requirements set forth by our Governor. You know those regulations that are intended to help all of us avoid the spread of this deadly virus. Their “bleating whines” are that it infringed on their personal constitutional guarantee that the government has no right to make and enforce regulations that they don’t like.

Several judges in the state have upheld Edwards' coronavirus restrictions and face covering requirement.

The recall petition was filed by Lee Joseph Vidrine and Michael Lyn Vidrine, both of Eunice. In its reason for seeking a recall, the petition accused Edwards of “impeding the constitutional freedoms and livelihoods of all Louisiana citizens without concrete scientific data” and “unconstitutionally mandating that masks be worn in all public places.”

The attempt to collect enough signatures for this recall to happen, fell far, far short of the number of signatures needed. Maybe they should slip over into Mississippi and try to get more signatures there. Of course that’s illegal but to these cretins, following the trumpian example, that wouldn’t make a lot of difference.

Is there any question about the devious stupidity in this administration? This story just reeks of total ignorance and mis-direction of trumps administration.

Is the government of the United States now in the business of toppling governments that are threatening invasions of our Nation? Or possibly threatening investors in the big oil companies or deploying huge military forces to invade other nations? If not what is the reason the orange menace has pushed his puppets to arrange the capture or elimination of the leaders of a government of a sovereign nation? Do we own righteousness? Is our government void of criminal activities? Or is this is the latest attempt to become the Hitler of the world?

Barr and Elliott Abrams, the State Department’s special envoy on Venezuela, are driving the hawkish U.S. stance toward Maduro, the duly elected leader of Venezuela, to depose him. Much like the push for Noriega’s ouster in the late 1980s — Barr as a senior Justice Department official and Abrams as assistant secretary of state for Latin America are up to their ears in the lies and shenanigans of the trump administration and are just as culpable in the crooked republican power hungry gang of much they are accusing Maduro of.

.www.huffpost.com/...

“The Maduro regime is awash in corruption and criminality,” U.S. Attorney General William Barr said in an online news conference from Washington. “While the Venezuelan people suffer, this cabal lines their pockets with drug money, and the proceeds of their corruption. And this has to come to an end.”

Separately, Barr, echoing calls from Florida Republican Sen. Marco Rubio, prioritized investigations into Maduro’s inner circle, according to two people who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss internal Justice Department deliberations. A street vendor and staunch Maduro backer, Juvenal Montilla, 60, said the U.S. indictment was just another dangerous step by a “crazy” Trump.

Is this “Crazy trumps” way to pour ketchup on the rotten burger he is feeding his base and being pumped up by the rotten rethugs who hope to muddy the waters so much that their boy will show much better in the polls? Is this much different than what just happened in the US- — A quote from the story ”this cabal lines their pockets with money taken from the people” per USAG Barr.

In my age group, which is past the median age of most Americans, I'm sure that many are on medication for various maladies. Statistics report that 1 in 3 of our U.S citizens suffer from hypertension - or more commonly referred to as "high blood pressure". A large number of our citizens are taking medications for this condition.
Recently one of the more effective drugs suddenly became unavailable all across America. Additionally it is one that has the least side effects and is the least expensive of all b/p meds.

The following information should raise red flags all across our country.

A Doctor of note and several of his colleagues have begun to question this shortage. What follows is a long but very important read. Because of the length I will let it speak for itself and let readers decide what to we should do.
